Treatment of Elbow Injuries

Treatment for elbow injuries typically begins with rest and ice to reduce pain and swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also help. Depending on the severity, physical therapy can strengthen muscles and improve mobility. For more serious injuries, a doctor might recommend a brace or splint to limit movement, or even surgery if necessary. It’s important to follow medical advice and avoid activities that could worsen the injury. Gradual return to normal activities is key to ensure proper healing and prevent re-injury. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized treatment recommendations.
